when he's talking about the latino community. at that point was off the record. that's now been agreed it's on the record. why has it taken so long, four years, for the president to reach this point on immigration reform and why should people believe it will happen in 2013 if he's re-elected since it did happen in the first four -- didn't happen in the first four year. >> look at the latino and hispanic community and what they saw in the debate stage from governor romney and rick santorum and rick perry. i mean look, these are folks that -- to say they alienated the hispanic latino communities in this country is an understatement. that's why you see support in states like nevada and new mexico, virginia and florida and ohio from the latino and hispanic communities. these are votes that the president has earned based on the actions he's taken on behalf of the community over the last 12 months, not just the last 12 months but three and a half years, and i take the president at his word that's something he'll pursue in a second term. so the record is very, very star

latinos keeping him in the game. >> luke, i want to talk about this, "the washington post" is conducting a daily tracking poll, 50/47 yesterday, romney, today 49/48. one of the things i hear from the obama team is your likely voter sample and all the samples out there is missing a critical piece of folks and that is young voters. that they are -- we are counting them as they're not going to vote this time. the obama team clearly is relying on them. tell us what you've been doing a lot of research on this. youth vote now and 2008 and back. >> it's interesting. something that came to the forefront in 2008. nationally, though, the -- it was only a one-point uptick in percentage of the share of the electorate which is 18%. the question for the obama team is will it be that high again. they believe it will be. obviously looks like we're going to have more voters this time than last time. something that's a common factor. where it helped them in 2008 was it flipped a few states in indiana, north carolina, margins were close, helped out, also in pennsylvania and virginia and ohio to get him ove

one of the things he neglects if he's talking about poverty, poverty for black and latino is concentrated poverty. not only are you poor but the household in which you live is poor, the community from which you come is poor, the schools are devastated and poor, and the surrounding resources are scarcely able to take care of you. so when he says that, he's saying nothing. he's not addressing the structural impediments to the flourishing of the very people he says ostensibly he wants to help. he has no analysis of structural impediments to them doing well and the ladder of upward mobility he's knocking down every wrung with his social policy but damning people for not getting on the ladder to climb up >> that's the professional sociological view. what is your view as an economyist? >> sure. it's a deep failure among ryan and romney to acknowledge that sometimes markets don't work well at all. now, if you've been through the great recession you can't ignore that but somehow they do, and if you walk through neighborhoods where market failure is not a recessionary activity, it's a permanent ac
